I'm making a bold prediction today she's got this based on the following evidence:
She's on the list
Donald Trump Shortlist: Tulsi Gabbard's VP Chances Soar
"Tulsi Gabbard's odds of becoming the 2024 Republican vice-presidential candidate surged with a leading bookmaker after Donald Trump said she was on his short list during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday".
She wants it
Tulsi Gabbard ready to ‘serve my country’ as Trump’s vice president if asked
“If that call came, I would say yes, and I'd be honored to serve my country in that way and to be in a position, first, to help win this election, to stop the Democratic elite from destroying our country, and then actually begin the real work of getting our country back on track,” Gabbard said.
“And that starts with having people of courage in our government who care more about the country than they do about the political elite in Washington."
Betting odds reflect her growing chances
She was 35/1 earlier this year now she is 7/1 2nd FAVORITE in the betting to be the GOP Vice Presidential nominee.
For someone who isnt even a Republican to be 2nd Favorite for the nomination is unprecedented.
Her rivals are unimpressive
Noem, Tim Scott, etc. all look lightweights to me so that leaves JD Vance and I'm not sure Trump will pick a freshman senator
So that leads me to conclude that Tulsi Gabbard has this!!
Interesting...
Mark this thread because I have immediately placed $25 on her at 7/1 and will be donating the winnings (175 bucks) to FR if she is chosen by Donald Trump.
I'm confident enough for a small wager anyway!
Who agrees with me that it'll be her? And who's excited by this possibility?
Do you concede it’s possible or have I just thrown away money :((
Au contrate mon frere.
Both candidates are old enough where they might not be able to complete their term. This election will be one where a crucial decision is the VP pick.
Gabbard is the classic reform republican, a democrat that has been mugged. She has seen the dark side of the dim agenda. That pattern is what made President Reagan so great.
Stefanik us totally loyal to President Trump. Period.
Gabbard is Fake and Disloyal. We have had far too much of both.
I didn’t ask about Derby picks because I thought OP was making a great call. I do not personally think Tulsi will be the choice, nor should be.
And I don’t bet - ever. I just love the horses. I can’t pick a favorite, but Fierceness is amazing, along with Sierra Leone and then ... all the (too many, imho) rest.
Godspeed to them all this coming Saturday.
Another thing she turned down RFK JR> Maybe she knows something.
Reagan was a republican Governor after his reform. He had a record. What record has Tulsi created following her being mugged? Her party may have ‘left’ her, but she really hasnt moved right.
I HOPE THAT THIS DOES’T HAVE A DEFLATING EFFECT ON YOU,BUT THAT’S NOT HER!
Desperate times call for desperate measures
“Lets hope not. She brings absolutely nothing to the table...not only is she not a conservative, she’s not even a Republican.”

Sorry, no offense. I’m sure you are a good person, but you could not possibly be more wrong.
The ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY thing that matters in a VP selection at this point is winning the election for Trump.
NO OTHER CRITERIA MATTERS. Not one Angstrom Unit.
Not her past, not her party, not her political stances, not her voting record, not 2028. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
TG will quiet the detractors (ie, suburban housewives) who say Trump is a misogynist/rapist and therefore they will never vote for him.
That, and tearing down the Deep State.
So STOP, RIGHT NOW, looking for the perfect candidate. There isn’t one, and there NEVER WILL BE.
I am all for TG for VP.
Almost anything is possible.
If she was VP, President Trump would be in grave danger of an attack on him. She is FAKE. She is not Loyal to anything but her own interest.
I don’t bet on horses or politicians.
Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
Yes the steal cost me last time this is just a fun bet and the site will benefit if I’m right!!
NO DEMOCRATS!
Yup. Deal killer, dealer killer, and deal killer.
+1
obama wasn’t eligible either
She’s just another usurper and she’ll run this country into the ground the first chance she gets.
Look, I too am a fan of Rand Paul. I liked his father, he was not my Representative. I last saw him in person at the GOP Convention in Ft. Worth when Rick Perry ran for governor on his own.
Ron Paul amazed me at the young college kids he attracted.
Pompeo is a dirty dog; it came out today that he withheld very pertinent info from Trump on fraud (as did that idiot broad that ran the CIA).
the other two I like though :)
One thing you cannot say about her is she isn’t capable or incompetent.
She no doubt “vets” very well and checks out. She’s an honorable person and former elected member of Congress.
Terrible past lefty positions YES and she won’t pass a purity test here...
Is she fake ? I dont know. Trump’s call.
